Backup Data in Windows Server 2008 with WBadmin

Nowadays, Server system is applied in many medium and small-sized enterprises. During their work, there are much data in computers, such as all kinds of forms, word documents, emails etc. Once server crashes, all those files will lose. At this point, backing up important files or folders becomes very significant.

In Windows Server 2008, you can use the built-in backup tool-WBadmin command to backup. WBadmin is an elevated command prompt which is built into Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. It allows administrators to create backups or restore operating system, files, folders, volumes or application.

When you backup data, open the Command Prompt window, and write “WBadmin Start Backup” to backup. There are some syntaxes in Windows Server 2008 as follows:

Here an example of backing up to a share. Also you can choose the destination of the backup target.

The command line is so complicated and not everybody knows how to write command. Besides, using WBadmin to backup will cost much time. Therefore, there is a Windows Server 2008 backup software to be recommended to you.
